WILLIAMS Chronicle Staff Writer The burden of integration needs to be shared by the white community, said Alderman Larry W. Womble at a forum last Thursday on fair housing. 44Why do we integrate just one way?" he asked. "Why not build houses to attract whites to East Winston? It can work." Womble and fellow aldermen Martha S. Wood and Frank L. Frye fielded questions and gave their views on "The City's Role in Fair Housing" at the Glade Street YWCA. The event was part of \nca\ Fair ttcuvuics sponsored oy tne "Why do we integrate just orj to attract whites to East Wir \ s k ; * * Human Relations Commission's New Horizons Fair Housing Committee. Womble said Winston-Salem is trying to take the lead in encouraging investment in East Winston. The city recently set aside $2 million to build 40 duplexes oh University Parkway and Cherry Street, but government can't do it all, he said. I "We have to get the landowners, contractors, developers and lending institutions to invest in East Winston," Womble said. "They need to build comparabletype housing to that found on the other side of town. Then we could totally have the dream of ^ America - fair and decent housing everywhere." uumui.

"They moved there not necessarily because they ' want to, but because the housing stock they would like to have is 1 not available in East Winston. 1 This is inherently wrong. It takes role models out of the black com- * munity." { 1 Womble said the problem is i that developers are not willing to invest in the black community. 1 tmi a.. _ /? ?A ? 1 ? riciuy o^, uiai tana in nasi J Winston is }ust laying there va- < cant," he said. 4'Developers are J ___________ t \e way?

"A person should not be protiibited to live in a section of town because of their race, the size of their pocketbook, sex, religion or my other thing," she said. "It's been done sucessfully in Charlotte, where the City Coun:il stood firm against opposition o such a measure. I don't see *hy it wouldn't work here."0 Section 8 funding, a proposed landlord/tenant hearing- board and a program to educate tenants E>n house maintenance were among other topics covered in the two-hour discussion. Members of the audience also touched on a current landlordtenant controversy in WinstonSalem. Some of the 36 citizens ttho attended had heard that the panel was to discuss a recent Human Relations Commission proposal on rent withholding. Consequently, a number of landlords and tenants came to the program ready to argue the virtues, or vices, of tenant/landlord relations. Despite some comments by iisgruntied landlords, Sharon G. Hamilton, who moderated the iiscussion, said everything turned out well. ?I thought it was a very productive meeting," she said. "The people got a chance to raise their :oncerns and raise issues about lousing in the community." In response to a question about he drying up of federal subsidies or Section 8 housing, the ddermen said they were not sure \B; El m^mm PpifP.'.

The proposed board would attempt to settle disputes without legal procedures, Hamilton said. The Commission's Fair Housing Committee, of which she is a member, will look at the proposal for the 1986-87 fiscal year, which begins in July, she said. She said the^ommittee will bring a proposal to the aommunity to set up such a boarjl. The Wthston-Salem Chronicle is published every Thursday by the Winston-Salem Chronicle . Publishing Co.
